I think this whole story is just a little absurd.
A Brazilian court has re-instated the popular YouTube website after banning people from viewing it.
The saga erupted when Daniela Cicarelli, a model and ex-wife of Real Madrid’s Ronaldo, sued YouTube after a video of her apparently having sex with her boyfriend in the sea in Spain was posted on the site.
Judge Enio Santarelli Zulianio blocked internet service providers (ISPs) from allowing people to access the website.
But the latest twist has seen Judge Zulianio reverse his decision but only if YouTube permanently removed the video in question.
Cicarelli and boyfriend Tato Malzoni had filed to force YouTube to take the video down and demanded £60,000 in damages for each day the video remained online.
You’d think YouTube wouldn’t HAVE to be sued to have someone’s sex video taken down; it clearly violates Google-owned YouTube’s terms of service (but apparently not Google’s because it is on Google Video). It’s the least they could do, considering they allow terrorists to post propaganda videos of murdered American soldiers on there, and considering they drop videos like panties on Prom Night as soon as CAIR or any other poor, oppressed terrorist cyber-propagandist starts whining about “offensive” content from anti-jihadis. But hey, who ever accused YouTube of having consistent standards or a conscience?
I’m not sure what Cicarelli is going to do about all the other places that have the video now, though–by suing and getting YouTube banned (even if for a very short time), it’s pretty much gone viral. All I can say is people suck, putting videos of other people having sex on the internets without their consent. I know, some of y’all are going to watch it. I hope she does at least find the scum who filmed it. At the very least, this will boost her modeling career–had you ever heard of her before this? Maybe that’s why she sued.
It got me to thinking, though. Someone ought to sue YouTube for allowing pro-terrorist videos. Maybe the families of those Americans and others murdered by terrorists should. I sure as hell would. CAIR and the cyber-jihadis certainly don’t hesitate to raise hell when they get their feewings hurt.

Circarelli Video and YouTube blocked Brazil says:
[...] Some Brazilians got angry that they were not able anymore to use YouTube. They started to send complaining emails to MTV Brazil telling them they want to boycot the show of Daniela Cicarelli on MTV Brazil. [...]

I think if she didn’t want a video of herself having sex on the beach showing up on Youtube, she shouldn’t have had sex on the beach out in the open where everyone and their grandmothers could see. Seems logical to me.
